    For sale here is a 2018 Grand Seiko SBGJ203 Mt. Iwate Hi-beat GMT in Full Set. I purchased it from my co-worker who was the original owner and got it at the Tokyo Narita Airport GS store back in Oct 2018.

    Intro quote from the GS website:

    This model incorporates Caliber 9S86, the high-specification movement that delivers the same accuracy (-5 to +3 seconds a day) and the same power reserve (55 hours) as the core Caliber 9S85.

    The exterior design is a modern take on the stunning 'Grand Seiko Style'—the embodiment of the Grand Seiko design philosophy which was first established for the 44GS in 1967—and features a distortion-free, wide mirror surface throughout.

    A beautifully delicate and polished finish has been created on the dial, with a 'Mount Iwate pattern', inspired by the many-ridged contours of the Mt. Iwate, the mountain that is visible through the windows of the Shizuku-Ishi Watch Studio where Grand Seiko mechanical watches are made.

    The dial is in perfect condition. The texture is a bit difficult to catch with my camera and light conditions at home. You can check the pictures out online or in videos such as this one.

    Ok... I'll take a few shots when I get a chance. Really busy with work this week and it was cloudy during the past few days. Plus the watch has been packaged back in the case... Will post in a few days.
